Glam Punk

Glam punk is a high-energy, rebellious genre that combines the raw power of punk rock with the flamboyant aesthetics of glam rock. Characterized by driving rhythms, crunchy guitar riffs, and snarling vocals, glam punk music often features catchy hooks and melodic choruses. Emerging in the late 1970s and peaking in popularity during the 1980s, glam punk drew inspiration from the New York Dolls' proto-punk sound and the androgynous style of David Bowie and Roxy Music. As a cultural phenomenon, glam punk embodied a spirit of youthful defiance and nonconformity, rejecting mainstream norms and embracing a flamboyant, DIY ethos. With its fusion of punk's intensity and glam's theatricality, glam punk influenced subsequent genres like sleaze rock and pop-punk, and paved the way for artists who blurred the lines between rock, fashion, and art.
